T2

My favourite T2 tea so far. It doesn’t need anything – perfect as is for whenever you feel like a cuppa. I find the hint of citrus so energising – love it!

A good sub for anyone in need of a 10AM chocolate fix. It’s not “sweet” sweet, like some might expect this tea to taste, but I still enjoy it – and I’m a chocoholic. Almost tastes like a Cherry Ripe (an Australian chocolate bar).

My first loose leaf tea ever! The flavour might seem too strong the first time if you aren’t used to it, but after the second or third brew, it’s perfect. The taste of the white tea itself is quite subtle, but I can still really pick up the cinnamon and cardamom. The warm chili aftertaste is great on a cold day.

Lovely afternoon brew when you’re out of milk. I sweeten it with a bit of sugar (but honestly not too much, around half a tsp for 500ml is PLENTY to bring out the sweeter notes).

Definitely happy with this blend now I’ve worked out how to drink it! About half a tsp of sugar to a standard cup adds just a nice amount of sweetness.

Tried a different approach for this blend today and had a big mug of it black with a bit of sugar (1tsp to 500ml). It was GORGEOUS. I’ve found how to drink it! Hooray!

Some of my friends lost their cool over this limited edition blend so I snapped a box up for myself, and I’ve only just gotten around to unboxing (high five for a great selection of flavoured blacks open in time for cooler months!).

First mug with a splash of milk and I’m… underwhelmed. Or just… whelmed, I guess. I’m cold brewing some overnight and I’ll see if maybe plain (as recommended but I had milk to use up, ok) does it any more justice.

I got a sample of this from the T2 Fruity sample box and it’s fantastic! There are some definite cranberry and hibiscus notes in it but it’s really great – definitely something I’m going to pick up when I have some disposable income again and more room in my tea cupboard.

Ok yeah nah I’m getting brutal now I’m getting close to totally cleaning out my cupboard. Twinkle Berry, you just don’t cut it. Too tart. Chill with the hibiscus, mate. You’re gone.

This blend was released with Shimmer Punch as a limited edition for Christmas 2013. Shimmer Punch was the hands-down winner there but Twinkle Berry is still a beautiful iced/ cold brew option. I’m not 100% sure why I added it to my cupboard back then though, as it clearly hasn’t had a lot of pull with me… I panicked about the expiration just recently and cracked it open ASAP. Summer’s over as of today! Let’s hope the warm weather stays around a little longer (this may be the first time in my life I’ve ever wished this) as I’ve gotta get through this right away. Jugs ahoy!

This is out of stock on the T2 website and I’m a little worried there won’t be any more! I’ve only discovered it in the last year or so and it’s a real favourite.

It’s so nice to have this back in my cupboard so quickly but as I got it on sale at T2 I’m afraid that means it’s been discontinued. Ah well, let’s just enjoy it while it lasts, shall we? I certainly did this evening.

I finished this the other night and I won’t lie, I miss it already. A beautiful mix of flavours, and before T2 were messing with added flavours too much too.

When your pep’s on the downlow, drink some tea.

Now that I’m out of proper sleepy teas, this guy’s next on the block. It’s so delicious and I am very happy with it! It’s also very pretty.

Wow. I’m out of words lately.

Whoops, cold brewed another jug of this blend for an extra day or two, which was a mistake. Green tea error! Mellowing it out with some extra water should do the trick. I mustn’t forget to try this hot.

I got this ages ago to blend with something else and I definitely can’t remember what that was.

But it’s ok! This is finally open and delicious as an overnight cold brew, I’m discovering this morning. Full of flavours.
